Without true and accurate data, there is false or distorted knowledge which does not benefit human development for the individual about whom the data is collected, nor society at large, but may benefit meglomania. Meanwhile the image one receives from distorted data may be akin to a reflection in a fun-house mirror.

Without regard to need for advocacy, etc, some of these back-office elements of public education may cause some parents to not love their child's school.

Well, all information that exists is stored in the Akashic records anyway, so I guess it's a moot point.
